I am a spatial researcher, writer, performance artist, musician, and designer. I grew up in rural Wisconsin and transplanted to Seattle, Washington in 2013. I currently live in New Jersey, where I am pursuing my Masters of Architecture at Princeton University.

I have always been fascinated by the impact and creation of place, and the ways in which identities are shaped by spatial relationships, between our external environments and our internal, embodied voids. My performance work is an extension of my architectural research, and an applied and embodied form of critical spatial practice. Action is used as a tool in place-making, unearthing movements from site-specific histories, and distilling, re-contextualizing, and subverting these to reveal the ways in which like-mine bodies have occupied and engaged with place. My background in music performance and composition has equipped me with a minimalist, process-based approach and an emphasis on the ephemeral nature of live-ness. Engaging the topology of being, my work taps into the audience’s perceptions of my body (as other, self, object) and augments or exaggerates these perceptions through durational action. In doing so, I de- and re-contextualize my body as a place of constructed and performed gender, as an artifact of my ancestors, and as a site of present action.

I have performed and presented my work with, among others, Base Experimental Arts + Space, On The Boards, Suspend:Release Performance Festival in New York City, Cry + Roar Festival in Seattle, as a resident artist at La Wayaka Current residency program in the Chilean Atacama Desert (2018), with ChaNorth Artist Residency (2019), with SOIL Gallery’s Fishbowl Residency (2020), YellowFish VI Durational Performance Festival and Residency (2020-21), PerformanceIsAlive Satellite Art Show in Miami (2021), FLUX Factory (2022), and Glasshouse ArtLifeLab (2022), among others. I hold a double major at the University of Washington in Music and Architecture, graduating with Interdisciplinary Honors, Magna Cum Laude in December 2017. I am also a recipient of the Butler Travel Research Fellowship (2023), the CBE Robin M. Towne Endowed Scholarship in Acoustic Architecture (2016) and the UW Library Research Award Grand Prize (2017) for my research into potential applications of John Cage’s theories of silence on urban planning practice through the lens of acoustic ecology. I am a former member of SOIL Gallery in Seattle, WA, and of Pink Noise Projects in Philadelphia, PA. I am also Managing Editor of direct object, a project exploring the idea of book as an architectural frame to be inhabited by crowdsourced ephemera.
